Paying for Oona is just another incapable person parachuted to the C-suite's decision, they had money to spend and wanted to "have an impact" 010
cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 04/10/2026you're either not aware or not telling the truth?? libass, the ASS renderer used nearly everywhere, lets the developer specify font & style overrides at runtime. Crunchyroll just need to expose the option to the user 010
Reposted by ciboDaiz @daiz.moe · 03/10/2026Remember when Crunchyroll tried to make their subtitles significantly worse a year ago? They backtracked on it at the time, but I suspected they were just delaying their plans to shift from Aegisub to OOONA, and sadly, it seems I was right: Crunchyroll is actively pushing OOONA subs to users now. 11844503
cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Oppo 203s can also read BDMVs from a USB port. With full menu support et al. But given the price of used Oppo units, the Magnetar is a better investment. Sony's won't load BDMV folders or some .m2ts. But you can trick the player by using a .ts extension, it will still use the BDAV decoders. 000
cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The MT8581 is truly a given for testing anything about Blu-ray. With the exception of the Sonys (FW restrictions), the chip supports loading BDMVs directly from the USB drive. In fact, Magnetar units are commonly used for BD100 QC in authoring studios, as burning a BD100 is tricky and slow. 100
cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I don't know how to feel with those new (UHD) Blu-ray Disc players popping up in China and Australia. They should all be MediaTek MT8581-based so pretty solid. But the firmware running on top can always fuck things up horribly. 100

cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I've dropped the VapourSynth requirement from VS-PicStruct. Anyone can now encode VFR BD-compliant H.264 streams, with merely a text file listing each sections' frame count and framerate. - strictly abides to the ITU H.264 requirements about fields' POCs - passes JM reference decoding software. 110

cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 15/09/2026the competitors' "encoders" aren't as capable or don't handle overlapping subs. on the foss side, other solutions are non compliant, ranging from "close" (spp2pgs) to absolute trash fire (subtitleedit). but none support the features I listed. 130

cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It falling in licensing hell was expected because, as stated in prior PRs, one member of the production committee was no longer cooperating or responding. As the artwork got approved, something happened in that committee: the situation has thereby possibly changed. 130

cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I am done adding VFR to x265 internal code and ratecontrol, and I despise that codebase even more now. Just need to expose it to the user via a --psfile cli option, and see no one ever use it ✨ 000
cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 04/09/2026New SUPer release coming. Rewrote a lot of the engine and made the code much more pleasant to navigate. Took the chance to improve the output quality as well. The sole reason? just to have a significant & presentable project to put on my CV :^) 000

cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The anime was fully dubbed in France. The french channel decided to censor many scenes prior to the first broadcast. Fortunately they sent out the uncensored tapes (or reels) to their partner in Canada (Radio Canada). They unfortunately trashed all licensed programs materials around the 2000s :( 132
cibo @cibo28.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Captain Harlock (1978) will air for the first with its uncensored french dub. The uncensored dub aired once in Canada in 1979~80 and was miraculously fully taped on VHS by a local back then. The digitalized audio files were privately shared to Mediawan in hope for an hypothetical future broadcast. 21114
